FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronda Thompson by email at: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX. Title: Alternative Physical Examination and Education Requirements. Form Numbers: FAA form 8700-2 & 8700-3. Type of Review: New information collection. Background: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016 (Pub. L. 114-190) (FESSA) was enacted on July 15, 2016. Section 2307 of FESSSA, medical certification of certain small aircraft pilots, directed the FAA to ``issue or revise regulations to ensure that an individual may operate as pilot in command of a covered aircraft'' if the pilot and aircraft meet certain prescribed conditions as outlined in FESSA. Those provisions include requirements for the person to:Possess a valid driver's license; Have held a medical certificate at any time after July 15, 2006; Have not had the most recently held medical certificate revoked, suspended, or withdrawn; Have not had the most recent application for airman medical certification completed and denied; Have taken a medical education course within the past 24 calendar months; Have completed a comprehensive medical examination within the past 48 months; Be under the care of a physician for certain medical conditions; Have been found eligible for special issuance of a medical certificate for certain specified mental health, neurological, or cardiovascular conditions; Consent to a National Driver Register check; Fly only certain small aircraft, at a limited altitude and speed, and only within the United States; Not fly for compensation or hire. The FAA notes that the use of section 2307 by any eligible pilot is voluntary. Persons may elect to use these alternative pilot physical examination and education requirements or may continue to operate using any FAA medical certificate. On January 11, 2017, the FAA published a final rule, Alternative Pilot Physical Examination and Education Requirements, to implement the provisions of section 2307 (RIN 2120-AK96). 82 FR 3149. The FAA recognizes that many persons will choose to use the provisions of section 2307 in lieu of holding a FAA-issued medical certificate. Accordingly, the FAA is providing notice of its intent to establish a new collection of information, Alternative Pilot Physical Examination and Education Requirements (OMB control number 2120-XXXX), to reflect the burden associated with the requirements of section 2307. In a separate notice, the FAA is providing notice of its intent to reduce the burden associated with the existing information collection, Medical Standards and Certification (OMB control number 2120-0034) by the population anticipated to use the provisions of section 2307.
